Curriculum Revision Processes

The UNC System has published new forms to be used to propose new major programs.

  • The first submission to the UNC System is the Request for Preliminary Authorization
  • The second submission is the Request to Establish.
  • The Financial Planning worksheet accompanies the Request to Establish.
These forms are to be used only for requesting new majors that are reviewed by the Board of Governors. If you are proposing a concentration within a major or a certificate, please submit your requests through the CIM system.

 Forms can be found under the "Program Forms" link in the left menu, then click on "Proposing New Degree Programs."


NOTICE for SPRING 2021 COURSES!

 Typically, online courses (courses with 'O' classification) complete the QM and C-RAC form in the Curriculum Inventory Management system (CIM).

 If a department plans for a campus (G) course for Spring 2021 but moves the course to 'Online' because of circumstances beyond its control, the department will not be required to complete the QM and C-RAC form. If that same course will continue to be taught online after Spring 2021, the department will have to comply with C-RAC and QM requirements.
